The skin is basically a thin sticker. No protective value at all. $35. We bought a $40 skin elsewhere that was many times thicker, and gave full, wrap around protection. Call this a sticker, not a skin. The skin on my hands is about 10 times as thick as this non protective cover. Looks nice, and a nice cardboard shopping envelope, but would never, ever consider buying one again. On the plus side, it was labelled “ do not bend” and it arrived in pretty good condition through the mail. Just very disappointed that what we got is $5 cheaper, but a fraction of the value from what we expected.
